Best Friends Forever? Chapter 6: Part 2 of The Vacation Disaster: In Which Involves Roommates, Bunking, Truces, Hidden Tropical Spas, Romance, Repentance, and Christmas

Back at Chateau de Philigrea, everyone was preparing for Christmas. Christmas decorations adorned the main hall. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Mara and Lara were each reading a copy of Teen Bop. Ron and Hermione were quarreling over who got Harry a better Christmas present. Harry was upstairs doing who-knows-what. Draco was writing an owl to his parents in Mr. Philigrea's study. Jana was the only one not occupied, so she answered the door. A drenched Neville Longbottom stood there with a suitcase by his side. "Neville! What a surprise! I thought you were going to your Gran's!" said Jana. "She decided it would be best to spend time with friends" said Neville. Jana grabbed his suitcase. "Come in, come in!" she said and they walked into the house. Jana pulled her wand out of her jeans pocket, pointed it at her throat, and said "Sonorus". Then she yelled, "Everybody in the main hall! Neville's arrived!" Jana then muttered, "Quietus". Everyone rushed down to greet Neville. "Alright then, since we're all here let's get started. Since Neville has finally arrived, we have an even number. This is the perfect time to announce roommates! As you know on the third floor is where the bedrooms are. There are bunk beds in each of the four rooms. That means I have paired you into twos. Now, Lara and Mara will be bunking together. Hermione and I will be bunking together. Ron and Neville will be bunking together. So, that leaves Harry and Draco bunking together. Okay, well let's move our things!" And with that, the girls, Ron, and Neville rushed to relocate their stuff. Harry turned to leave and Draco grabbed his sleeve. Harry whirled around and gripped his wand. "Relax, Potter. I wanted to ask something of you." Draco said. Harry warily released his wand. "Well Potter, since there's a rather likely chance that Jana and I will go steady, and since we're roommates for the rest of the winter holidays, I thought it would only be fair to have a truce... for Jana's sake, not ours. Now, I know you hate me and I know I hate you. But please, let's try to make this work- for Jana." Draco said. Harry reluctantly agreed. The two rushed off to help each other with their trunks.

One of Jana's favorite rooms in all of Fortnoy Plaza was the Rainforest Room. This room had artificial trees all over and tropical birds housed there. In the middle of the room, there was a small clearing in which there were no trees. Just behind this clearing was a huge artificial waterfall. There was a knob on the side with which you could change the temperature of the room, the water temperature, and the sky pattern on the ceiling. The ceiling of this room was bewitched like the Great Hall ceiling at Hogwarts. Jana loved spending time alone in that room. It was the one place where she could be alone. One day, Jana decided to go hang out in the Rainforest Room, so she changed into a bathing suit and set off. None of the others knew about this room. It was expertly hidden and was protected by hexes. Once Jana arrived, she began to soak under the waterfall. She closed her eyes and let the warm water wash over her. Suddenly, she heard feet walking around. She froze. A pair of arms wrapped around her waist and the air suddenly reeked of hair gel. "Draco, what the hell are you doing?" Jana asked. Draco sounded shocked. "How did you know it was me?" he asked. Jana laughed. "Maybe because I can smell the stench of hair chemicals." She turned around and Draco was wearing the famous Malfoy smirk. "And what may I ask is so amusing?" Jana demanded, hands on her hips. Draco grabbed her hands. "Your beauty." he said as if in a trance. Then they kissed. At that moment, Ron wandered into the room with a small burgundy box. He saw Draco and Jana and his jaw dropped. Draco sensed a presence and turned his head. "Keep your pants on, Weaselby, we're almost thru." Draco kissed Jana on the cheek. "See you later, Jana." he said and walked out, looking pleased with himself. "You... Malfoy... TOGETHER?" Ron stammered. Jana rushed over to Ron. "What were you spying on me and Draco for?" she yelled. "I wasn't spying. I was trying to give you your Christmas present! But it's worthless now. Here, take it!" Ron shouted back, shoving the box into Jana's hands. She opened it just as he left the room. It was a silver heart-shaped locket with a golden J on it. On the back, there was engraving. It read: "RW + JP Forever". Jana burst into tears as she read. She rushed into the hall. Ron was sitting at the end, silent tears dripping down his freckled and scarlet face. He was mumbling, "I reckon Dean was right. Blimey, French girls do toy with your emotions. Nothing but foreign skanks." Jana regretted ever meeting Draco Malfoy. Spite relationships go nowhere.

On Christmas morning, everyone awoke to a pleasant surprise. Dozens of presents lay under the Christmas tree. Harry got an altitude monitor for his broom from Hermione. He got new Quidditch goggles from Ron. Draco's present was a box full of Chocolate Lightning Bolts made to look like Harry's scar. Neville explained that they were selling better than Chocolate Frogs and the cards had his biography on them. Jana gave Harry a gel that would keep his hair still throughout a Quidditch match. Neville had forgotten to get him something.

Jana had, of course, gotten the locket from Ron. Hermione gave her a subscription to Witch Weekly. Neville gave her a carton of Butterbeer. Harry gave her a smiley face necklace that sung the Muggle song "Don't Worry Be Happy". Draco gave her a set of teal dress robes and teal pearls to go with it.

Hermione got a copy of "Hogwarts, A History" from everyone. She vowed to go to Flourish and Blotts and trade them in for spell books.

Ron got Chudley Cannons memorabilia from everyone. He was the most pleased with his gifts.

Draco got nothing from everyone but Jana, who gave him a pouch for his wand. He was happy and gave Jana a kiss, which made both she and Ron go pink.

Neville got plants and Herbology books from everyone. He was the happiest of all.

Christmastime had come and gone, yet Jana and Ron were still not talking. It was time to take drastic action, and the twins had a plan. Look out on New Years Eve!
